I'm walking down this broken road
I've never been here before
So fucking bored, I can't explain
(it doesn't mean a thing)
I'm going lower
Than I ever dreamt of going before
So fucking low I can't explain
(I can't explain the pain)

So what I'd rather be numb
You know what I'd never be numb
So what I'd rather be numb
From the sex and the drugs
And the spotlight too
You know what I'd never be numb
From the pain and the blame
And the black and blue

So what I'd rather be numb
So what, so what

I asked my mother what she'd do
If she could do it again
She said she'd probably do the same
(she wouldn't change a thing)
Forgive me father for I know
Not why I'm drowning in sin
I guess I do it all in vain
(it doesn't mean a thing)

So what I'd rather be numb
You know what I'd never be numb
So what I'd rather be numb
From the sex and the drugs
And the spotlight too
You know what I'd never be numb
From the pain and the blame
And the black and blue

So put me under again, I don't mind
Put me under again, I feel fine
Can you hold me again before I die?
Put me under (put me under)
Put me under again

I'm walking down this broken road
I've never been here before
So fucking bored I can't explain
(I can't explain the pain)

So what, I'd rather be numb
You know what I'd never be numb
So what I'd rather be numb
From the sex and the drugs
And the spotlight too
You know what I'd never be numb
From the pain and the blame
And the black and blue

So what, I'd rather be numb
So what, so what
So what, I'd rather be numb
So what, so what
